So long as you're not talking to a Graphics Snob. They'd probably be calling the OG GameCube graphics "PS1 Graphics" because they're so out of touch with the graphical progression of games.

@@LeviathanTamer31 If you look carefully, you can see all the little tricks and dodges they used to make Metroid Prime look so good. Charge beam effects are just animated textures, prerendered reflection models to avoid the flat look, emphasis on semi detailed textures to hide simplicity of models, using sprites for particle effects, making things out of big simple shapes to save on polygons, application of sprite effects to give impression of firing rendered beams, using transparency layers to add illusions of depth and reflection, using lights to substitute for complex detailed structures like eyes. The cleverness actually makes it even more impressive. The 6th generation of consoles was roughly when technical limitations stopped being so in the way of games, but the limitations were still steep; the Gamecube gave you 24MB of RAM and a 1.5GB disk space for the game.

He jugado metroid prime en gamecube con un cable digital kaico y un rescalador a 1080p y se ve increíble

That's because it hasn't aged a day in graphics

Halo 1 came out around the same time lol XD

FOR REAL

If it's released on the Switch, about the same. This is the limit of what the Switch can do

@@DS9TREK lie

@@DS9TREK there are games like Wolfenstein which look significantly better than this that too on the switch, so no this isnt the ceiling for Metroid Prime 4

@@DS9TREKI doubt that. Remember, Prime still uses smaller rooms and older animations. Also, they wanted to preserve the art style as much as possible. While the difference between This remaster and Prime 4 will be smaller than the original compared to the remaster, it will still look better, and be more dynamic.

Just finished my first playthrough of the game, and I never made the connection that Metroid Prime would be the final boss. I thought it was going to be another form of Ridley. Haha.

as well as the fact that ”prime” means ”first”, referring to the game being in 1st person

No it’s because prime is the queen of metroids it’s in her peak power form that’s what it means by prime the main boss is at full power

Same with the omega priate

​@@DGISALWAYS omega pirate is a power bomb and sometimes only pops 2 of 4.

Just don't use missiles then?

I agree. It feels very..cinematic

My dumb self never learned how to do it. After I finish up my Normal mode run of the Remaster, I think I'll go into a Hard mode run and give it a go...

@@97dusk Just alternate between power beam and missile buttons quickly

Hope other glitches explits are still there, lol

Don't fix what's not broken

I love that I’m not the only one that thought this when playing

It's a Remaster not a Remake.

The gameplay stood the rest of time

That's because the gameplay didn't age at all

Yeah, who wants new content anyway am I right 🙄

Please dont have us slog thru artifact hunting in Prime 4 and for the love of god color-coded doors should not stay colored forever.

Well, when playing the original upscaled via an emu it doesn't feel that old for me. Just when I saw the remaster's graphics I realised how old the original actually is.

This is what I've been feelong but didn't know how to articulate. I'm happy with my purchase and love the remaster, no regrets, but in some ways I find the original better at times for atmosphere. Although when the remaster wants to be dark it's VERY dark

@@jaredcrane3845 An example is the background sky in the Flaahgra fight. In the original its mixed with orange coloration and an overcast sky. In the remaster its pretty clear and bright out.

Jaws only worked because the shark was so bad they decided not to use it as much as possible.

Original had a light up effect with charge beam and you were able to see yourself in the reflection of a mirror you find in overworld but still they're both awesome

Yep. The originally is better in almost every way. It is more dark and gloomy. Honestly, I think even Samus looks better in the original. Magmoor caverns appears to be better in the remaster though.

I too noticed that the running animations were VASTLY improved. They were such a pet-peeve of mine from the original.

if you look closely at the cutscene that you get in phendrana at the start they fixed the walk cycle animation there too

@@gunnarhammerstead223 Yep! I noticed right away! SO much more natural now.

I love how she just HAULS ASS after the thing. Not a second spent deliberating where it’s fleeing to; she just knows she has to catch it to kill it. What a BADASS woman.

My one real complaint is I liked the old phazon suit better. The barrier around it looked chunky and powerful, and that shine tho. Everything else is a chef's kiss

I think I liked the old Phazon Suit cutscene more.

Yeah there's also little effects like water pouring out of the mouths of statues looked better in the original, and while playing the game when your visor fogs up or you go into rain the original looked better imo

Roca

Piedra

岩

I think they made his eyes look angrier in the remaster.

I get the change, but man, the original is just terrifying. The face kind of hidden in shadow, just leaving it's giant glowing eyes, looking like a skull just staring your down

i honestly think the original sheegoth just looks goofy. with how it looks in the remaster you can FEEL why its one of the predators of phendrana just by staring it down

Agreed! Metroid sound tracks are always full of bangers!

Honestly, i kinda think the environments in the OG version pop more, and the details are more apparent. creature and character models, absolutely, the remake blows it out of the water, but I can count the tiles on the floor in the original, meanwhile the remake makes everything more... muted.

Retro employed some of the best artists in the business in the 2000s, they were legendary. Prime's art design alone keeps it from looking dated, and IMO it only gets better with Prime 2 and 3. Prime 2's environment aesthetics are some of the best in any Nintendo game.

@@nillynush4899 I'm really kind of hoping they give us Echoes & Corruption for the Switch as well in preparation for Prime 4.

It's not a Remake it's a Remaster.

One can imagine....

Samus and the star fox crew would make a good gang. Fox and co rule the skies whike samus bring havoc in land.

So is the music 🎶

And so is the sheer difficulty of it on Hard mode. Even having every upgrade up to that point I nearly died and ran out of missiles.

​@@SoulHeartRS God playing that game on hard mode was ridiculous lol

I love how he just falls on you. It always gets a chuckle out of me. You can even see the moment right before he falls that it occurs to Samus that she forgot to get out of the way.

I learned about the Power Bomb trick to knock all his armor off right away!

Imagine the redesign of the Grenchlers.

Honestly I kinda of feel more intimidated by the original. I think it’s the bright eyes over the silhouette of it.

@@WAEVOICE I love the Grenchlers. I know they are just a tweaked version of the sheegoth, but they look so much cooler. They also freak me out a lot more. Especially trying to get away from them only to be slowed down by the bog.

I think that was a difference introduced by the PAL version maybe?

@@Amitlu Yup. Mentioned before, that change was introduced on the PAL versions on Europe and Japan. UIt was also changed in the Trilogy.

It seems like projectiles still have it but their radius is reduced by a lot and only visible when you shoot close to a wall. There seems to be some lighting on the wall. I wish it was stronger.

@ Is not bright enough, not only the radius, we have broken effects here.

I wonder if it was a deliberate sacrifice for framerate or if it is some sort of visual bug

My only gripes are the morph ball bomb, power beam charge, and wave beam charge. Otherwise great work

3 will have people divide if they change her anime look. Hopefully they do both looks

@Real American Negro, they already changed her look in this game, after she returns to her ship from defeating Metroid Prime. She doesn’t have a “sexy Samus” look, but a more realistic hardened space mercenary look to her. I am not complaining either way, let the devs do what makes sense to them.

@@realamericannegro977 i dont think nobody liked the anime looks, it has always been a point of criticism.

Omg if they remaster prime 2 I’m gonna be a happy camper

@@mrdoggo3569 It looks good but was so random to do it in Prime 3. I feel like that should have been an alternate skin for finding a secret

Same

I started Dread but I still never played any of the Prime ones.

They probably figured why do that when they can just put new stuff in prime 4. They’d have to code completely new stuff for what you are suggesting. As far as I have heard most of the code is intact from prime 1 here, they just updated a lot of the visuals, tweaked some animations, and remastered the music.

We'll it's possible Kraid could appear in Prime 4.

I totally agree.

I feel like she looks older in this.

About the Phazon Suit animation, that's actually vanilla. Some versions of the original used the aiming animation, others used the newer walking-and-looking-at-hand animation.

We'll it kind of makes sense for her to look that way, she has after all been through Hell and back.

That shitty blur effect on the thermal visor is the only thing about the remaster I can't stand, no idea how the fuck it was greenlit, I hope there is a patch that removes it somewhere down the line.

The eyes glowing so ominously against it’s almost darkened silhouette and the bright glow of its back crystals is better I think than the remodel even through the remodel is cool too.

From what game? Super metroid? Cuz if so, it's different. Though they do use similar writing techniques

Even Omega Pirate? He looks like a cartoon villan in the original.

The older version still has some things that are better than the remaster. I own the original Metroid prime of the Gamecube, the very first version and you can see in this video the original still holds up to this day. That game is the result of developers loving the game so damn much. What makes the Metroid prime series the best of well, the series is that you get LORE, a lot of Lore from the enemies, planet and so on. Other games is just "go here, kill that and that's it"

@@Yokai_Yuri amen, my friend, I hold the originals too

always such idiots saying their "originah bettah" stuff. stop living in the past it's not healthy. the remake is objectively better looking.

@@giannilyanicks1718 disagree, but I'm happy you like the remaster.

@@giannilyanicks1718 lol never said originals are better, just saying I still hold them, I loved the remaster.

Absolutely. So much so that I didn't really think the remaster was much of an improvement until I watched some videos of the old gameplay to give me a refresher. The new one definitely looks way better.... especially being on a 16:9 screen. That being said, the original was phenomenal

Only if they use the source code instead of "lifting code" from emulations people have made and passing it as their own. The Mario 64/sunshine/galaxy cartridge (which is no longer sold), they used a WELL KNOWN but HORRIBLE emulation of Mario 64 for it that comes rife with it's own errors and bugs that aren't present in the original coding. If they just take the original code and swap out the models, it should be just fine.

They already got remakes on the 3DS.

The entire lighting and reflection system I don't like in the new version

Actually it's changed since GameCube Europe/Japan version.

What phazon suit cutscene did they change?

​@@thundergodgamer118 21:21 onwards. The top right is the original. The bottom left bigger screen is the changed one. I believe the altered one was in the Wii trilogy as well.

Feel like meta Ridley looks less shiny which I think is a bit sad to see go, but I absolutely love the extra detail on the wing webbing.

The opposite, they became easier due to the new controls. The entire games has.

​@@The_Ostrich so play it using the old controls if that matters to you

@@DS9TREK Uhhh, what 🤦‍♂️. You're weird. But hey, this is KZfaq, so I shouldn't expect people with IQs higher than 20.

Haven’t tried hard mode yet, but they seem about the same or easier, depending on your control setup.
